Summary
Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs are back to set the stage for two massive World Cup semi-final blockbusters as France prepare to clash with Spain and England get ready to ignite their historic rivalry against Argentina.
The guys are joined by David Seaman to talk all things Jordan Pickford, while Dave also takes a trip down memory lane to reflect on his own experiences playing against Argentina back in the unforgettable 1998 tournament.
Award-winning author and journalist Mike Calvin drops by to discuss his new book, 1966: A Moment in Time, exploring the social transformation of that iconic summer and analysing how the magic of that tournament compares to the modern-day spectacle we are witnessing right now.
Stan Collymore also delivers his audio essay after returning from the United States, giving his raw thoughts on how he found life across the Atlantic and sharing his verdict on how this England squad is shaping up on the brink of history.
